The number one Leadership Challenge is that leadership itself is full of contradictions. However, a great leader is someone who can accept and use both sides of the contradictions at the same time. The contradictions become even more and more ridiculous when a person rises in the leadership hierarchy. The following are some leadership contradictions that will pose difficult leadership challenges to all leaders:

• Decisive
  Accept uncertainties. Decide on what you need to decide and get on with it.

  BUT…. Not Decisive
  Think Gray (not black, not white), Delegate the decision-making, Put off to tomorrow - Timing of decision is as important as decision

• Dependent
  A leader must learn to trust and depend on their people

  BUT… Independent
  Ability to simultaneously view things from two or more perspectives

• Get advise from Experts

  BUT… Be careful of Experts
  Never take experts too seriously & Never trust experts completely

• Take recognition
  For losses

  BUT… Don't take recognition
  For victories

• Focus on present
  Reality, Results, Systems, and Processes

  BUT… focus on future
  Strategic foresight & Vision

• Skills are important

  BUT… Skills are not important
  Especially in human relation matters

• Its not what you say, its what u do that's important

  But… its not what you do, its what u say that's important

• You are in control (resources, processes, systems)

  But… You are NOT in control (people)

• Need ego (confidence)

  but… cannot have ego (pride, inflexibility)

• Decision based on feelings

  But… Decision CANNOT be based on feelings

• Leadership is the goal (influence, credibility, trust)

  But… leadership is NOT the goal (achievement, next level leadership, improved lives)

• Continue changing

  BUT… Consistent (values)

• Big view (business, community, lives)
